A procedure for multi-criteria selection of building assemblies

摘要: During some of the different building design stages, typical construction materials/components are often grouped together to form what is called assemblies. One most important tasks in development stage selection appropriate assemblies be used various elements building, e.g. walls, roofs, floors and so on. This decision will have a significant impact on performance with respect criteria. Although this cannot entirely separated from other use decision-making techniques can render more rational decision. In paper, computer tool developed for selecting best combination each particular situation. The utilizes existing models single comprehensive procedure. described procedure, selected by finding trade-off between set designer-specified analytical hierarchy process (AHP) determine relative importance weights addition, methods determining an aggregated criteria alternative solution described. A heuristic algorithm search assembly among prototype that implements procedure Visual Basic as add-in AutoCad.
